Another New Year's Eve game perfect for family: reverse charades. Instead of one person acting out a word for the team to guess, one person will guess while the rest of the team has to silently act it out together.

Each correct guess equals one point, and every word accidentally blurted costs the team one point. No game set necessary here—the hostess can just create the words ahead of time and keep things fair by serving as time and point keeper! Take Ellen Degeneres' app game "Heads Up" old-school by using pen and paper instead. Set up a table with trays, each marked with chosen categories, such as favorite SNL characters or popular '90s songs, as well as sheets of paper and pens.

When guests walk in, they can submit their picks for each category and place them upside-down in the correct tray. When everyone is ready, huddle into teams of three or four depending on your party's size, assigning one person as the guesser who will sit across from the team. Place a tray in front of them and set the timer for one minute. The player flips up a sheet of paper without seeing the answer on the front, and the team has to help them figure it out without actually saying the exact answer.

Once they guess correctly, they pull up the next sheet of paper until all are out or the timer is up. Players get one pass only. Each team must get a different category, and whoever has the most correct answers, wins! The game poses two questions and can be as lighthearted or as deep as you wish.

For example, would you rather have the ability to fly or be invisible? Would you rather experience an earthquake or a tornado?

Would you rather get stuck in an elevator with Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds? Let each guest ask a question of their choice until all guests have answered, and then go for a second round!
